The only Menards that I had went to was in Topeka Kansas. So when I seen that they built one in Lawrence I decided to stop on in today. First of all this location is kind of weird because it sits right next to Home Depot. It kind of has me wondering if both businesses are owned by the same company and they're getting the money no matter which one you go to. Just makes you scratch your head. But other than the location I love the store's layout. It does take you awhile to find things because the aisles are not labeled very well, but the aisles are clean and if you go down the aisle you're pretty much find what you're looking for. I did not know that Menards had food. I thought that they only had housewares and supplies but towards the back of the store they actually sell groceries. Not very much but sufficiently enough. I loved their stock of Christmas items I will definitely be back to pick up a few of those. It's a store that you can spend a lot of time looking around and getting ideas in your head about decorating and things that you want to do to your house or apartment. I have to agree with everyone's complaint about the friendliness. I spent over two hours in the store looking around and this was my first time ever being there. From the moment I arrived I was never greeted, I walked past several workers and no one ever even said hello or bother to ask me if I needed help finding anything. Because I already knew that I wasn't going to buy anything and that I was just going in to get the layout of the land, it didn't really bother me too much that no one approached me. However, it is a cautionary tale for when I return again.because it lets me know that whatever it is I'm going to get in there, I better know exactly where it is because I'm not going to get any help to find it and if I'm having a bad day no one is going to greet me and make me feel welcome to come in. I can Overlook that to a certain extent. If you have what I want but you don't speak to me, I'm okay with that. now if you say something mean or you look at me like I'm a piece of dirt then we got a problem and so far no one has done that. So as long as they have what I'm searching for at a price that I can afford they will definitely see me again read more
